Lyrics
Out of My Head
I?ve been to hell and back I had it rough
But I can?t quite cut the cord
And all the crap and pain it was enough
To make me mostly OK bored
You let me go back in ?99
Right before our bubble popped
Out of sight but not out of mind
No the passion never stopped
I want you far away and please don?t ever call
?Cause if I hear your voice again I?ll fall
And do I want you off my mind
Yeah I don?t really know I?m gonna try to get you out of my head
And I don?t want your love yeah I am gonna try to get you out of my head
You?re perplexed yeah this I understand
I kinda got my signals mixed
I am content mostly happy with the bland
But I am not completely fixed
I will not burn your words or our photographs
As deadly as they are they make me laugh
So do I want you off my mind
Yeah I don?t really know if I?m gonna try and get you out of my head
And I don?t want your love and I am gonna try to get you out of my head
I need you miles away on a far away distant shore
I can?t afford to get bored to death of being bored
